               FIRST CITIZENS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

         Unaudited Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
            As of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

1)       Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

   First Citizens  Financial  Corporation  ("First  Citizens  Financial") is the
holding  company of Citizens  Savings Bank F.S.B.  ("Citizens" or the "Bank"), a
wholly-owned  federal savings bank subsidiary of First Citizens  Financial.  The
consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  First  Citizens
Financial, Citizens and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Citizens (collectively, the
"Company").

   The financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited  but, in the opinion of management of
the Company,  contain all  adjustments,  consisting  solely of normal  recurring
entries,  necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial condition as of
June 30,  1996 and the  results of  consolidated  operations  for the six months
ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995 and  consolidated  cash  flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The consolidated  statement of financial condition
as of December  31, 1995 is derived  from audited  financial  statements.  These
condensed financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements  and notes  thereto  included in First  Citizens  Financial's  latest
report to stockholders' on Form 10-K.

   The results of consolidated operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996
are not  necessarily  indicative  of results that may be expected for the entire
year ending December 31, 1996.


2)       Earnings Per Share
         ------------------

   On April 19, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend which
was  distributed  on June 3, 1996 to  stockholders  of  record  on May 3,  1996.
Average shares  outstanding and all per share amounts are based on the increased
number of shares giving retroactive effect to the stock dividend.

   Earnings  per share for the three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1996 were
determined  by dividing  net income by  3,200,989  and  3,183,165,  the weighted
average  number  of  shares  outstanding  during  these  periods,  respectively.
Earnings  per  share  for the  three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1995 were
determined  by dividing  net income by  3,151,200  and  3,131,938,  the weighted
average  number  of  shares  outstanding  during  these  periods,  respectively.
Outstanding  shares also  include  common  stock  equivalents  which  consist of
outstanding  stock  options,  if such options are dilutive.  The Company has not
separately  reported  fully diluted  earnings per share as it is not  materially
different from earnings per share.

3)        Stock Option Plans
          ------------------

    At June 30, 1996, the Company had three stock-based  compensation plans that
provide for the grant of stock  options to  directors  and/or  officers  and key
employees  of the  Company  and its  subsidiary  at prices at least equal to the
market value at the date of grant. The maximum term of all options granted under
the plans is ten years and vesting occurs either immediately or over a period of
up to five  years.  A total of  795,507  shares of  Company  common  stock  were
reserved for issuance at June 30, 1996.

    The Company  calculates the  fair value  of its stock options  granted after
December 31, 1994 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123 Accounting for  Stock-Based Compensation.  The fair value of each
option  grant  is estimated  on the date  of grant  utilizing the  Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

     Compensation cost charged against  historical net income in the above table
was  increased  by the  fair  value  of  stock-based  compensation  grants.  The
adjustments  amounted  to $48,000 for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 and
$75,000  and  $62,000  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  No  adjustment  was  required for the three months ended June 30,
1995.  During the initial phase-in period,  the effects of applying SFAS No. 123
to historical net income to provide pro forma  disclosures  are not likely to be
representative  of the effects on reported net income for future  years  because
options vest over several years and  additional  grants  generally are made each
year.

               FIRST CITIZENS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in the tables in thousands)

    This  discussion  and analysis  includes a description  of material  changes
which  have  affected  the  Company's   consolidated   financial  condition  and
consolidated  results of operations during the periods included in the Company's
financial statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (June 30, 1996 compared to December 31, 1995)

    Total assets increased by  $38.4 million, or 6.3%, at June 30, 1996 compared
to December 31, 1995.  Such  increase  was  primarily  due to increases of $36.2
million in investment  securities and $2.9 million in prepaid expenses and other
assets. Loans increased by $3.4 million, net, which reflects originations net of
repayments  of $61.4  million and $26.3 million of 30-year fixed rate loans sold
to improve the Bank's interest rate sensitivity.

    Nonperforming assets, net (including nonaccrual loans and real estate owned,
net)  amounted to $15.3  million and $15.1 million at June 30, 1996 and December
31,  1995,  respectively.  The primary  causes of the increase  were  additional
nonperforming commercial real estate loans. During the six months ended June 30,
1996,  the Bank sold three real estate owned  projects and acquired title to the
remaining $2.7 million  balance of a commercial land loan.  Total  nonperforming
assets,  net as a percentage of total assets were 2.4% at June 30, 1996 and 2.5%
at December 31, 1995. Total loss reserves as a percentage of total nonperforming
assets, gross were 48.4% at June 30, 1996 and 50.5% at December 31, 1995.

   Troubled debt restructurings, net, amounted to $2.9 million and $5.5 million,
at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  respectively.  Performing loans greater
than 90 days past  maturity,  net,  amounted to $12,000 and $2.0 million at June
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  The primary cause of the decrease
was the extension of a commercial land loan amounting to $1.2 million.

   At June 30, 1996, there were no loans with respect to which known information
about the  possible  credit  problems of the  borrowers or the cash flows of the
security  properties  caused management to have serious doubts about the ability
of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which might
result in the future inclusion of such loans in nonperforming assets.

   The Bank regularly  reviews assets in its portfolio to determine  whether any
require classification. On the basis of such review, the following assets, which
include nonperforming assets, were classified at the dates indicated:

     The Bank also  identifies  assets  which  possess  credit  deficiencies  or
potential  weaknesses   deserving   management's  close  attention  as  "special
mention".  These assets totaled $25.9 million at June 30, 1996 compared to $25.3
million at December 31, 1995.

     The  allowance for losses on loans is  established  through a provision for
loan losses based upon management's  evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan
portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. Such evaluation
considers,  among other  factors,  the  estimated  fair value of the  underlying
collateral,  current  economic  conditions and historical loan loss  experience.
While  management uses available  information in establishing  the allowance for
possible loan losses,  future  adjustments  to the allowance may be necessary if
economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the
evaluations.  Additions to the  allowance  are charged to  operations;  realized
losses, net of recoveries,  are charged to the allowance.  In addition,  various
regulatory agencies,  as part of their examination process,  periodically review
the Company's  allowance for possible loan losses. Such agencies may require the
Company to recognize  additions to the allowance  based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examinations.

     The Bank provided an additional  $148,000 for potential  loan losses during
the first six months of 1996 and incurred $429,000 of net charge-offs during the
period.

      The Bank also establishes allowances for losses on real estate owned based
upon their fair values. The Bank provided $115,000 for additional losses on real
estate  owned  during  the first six  months of 1996 and  incurred  $127,000  of
charge-offs  during the period.  The valuations of real estate owned  properties
are reviewed periodically (at least quarterly) and updated as necessary based on
the Bank's expectations of holding periods, leasing or sales activity, and other
changes in market conditions.

     Based on  available  information,  management  believes  that  current loss
reserves are adequate at this time to cover  potential  losses in the portfolio.
There can be no assurance,  however, that additional loss provisions will not be
necessary in the future if market conditions deteriorate.

     Taking  advantage of a favorable rate  environment,  investment  securities
were increased  $36.2 million during the first six months of 1996. This increase
in earning assets helped to  substantially  offset the effects of a reduction in
net interest margin which decreased from 3.27% for the six months ended June 30,
1995 to 2.98% for the  comparable  period in 1996.  The yield on the  investment
portfolio increased from 6.30% at December 31, 1995 to 6.95% at June 30, 1996.

     The Bank had unrealized gains of $.5 million and unrealized  losses of $2.0
million on its investment  securities  available-for-sale  portfolio at June 30,
1996. The amortized cost of this portfolio was $95.7 million at that date. There
were unrealized losses amounting to $210,000 and $188,000 in unrealized gains on
the investment  securities  held-to-maturity  portfolio at that date. The Bank's
investment   securities   portfolio   includes  both  agency   obligations   and
mortgage-backed securities.

     Deposits,  before interest  credited,  increased by $7.6 million,  or 1.5%,
during  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996.  Deposits,  including  interest
credited,  increased  by $18.3  million,  a 3.7%  increase.  Also during the six
months ended June 30, 1996,  advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank  increased
$10.1 million or 13.3%.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances had an average interest
rate of 5.9% at June 30, 1996. Other borrowed money increased to $4.7 million at
June 30, 1996 and had an average interest rate of 6.6% at that date.

     At June 30, 1996,  stockholders'  equity totaled $39.7 million,  or 6.1% of
total assets, and reflected $.9 million of net unrealized holding losses, net of
applicable taxes, on investment securities available-for-sale. At June 30, 1996,
the Bank was considered "well  capitalized"  under regulatory  definitions.  See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND JUNE
30, 1995

     General.  The  Company  recorded  net income of $1.1  million,  or $.36 per
share,  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996 as compared to net income of
$954,000, or $.30 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     Net interest income,  after provision for loan losses,  increased  $244,000
when  compared  to 1995.  There was a  $881,000,  or 8.2%,  increase in interest
income which was offset by a $737,000,  or 11.7%,  increase in interest expense.
Provision for loan losses decreased $100,000. Other income increased by $254,000
million,  or 41.9%, and operating expenses decreased by $91,000, or 2.5%, during
the three  months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to the same period in the prior
year.

     Net Interest Income.  The Company's net interest  income,  before provision
for loan losses, increased $144,000, or 3.3%, during the three months ended June
30,  1996 as  compared  to the same  period  of 1995.  Interest  income on loans
decreased by $211,000,  or 2.3%, due to decreases in average yields from 8.2% to
8.0% during the three months ended June 30, 1996  compared to the same period in
the prior year.  Interest  income on  investment  securities  increased  by $1.1
million  which  was  primarily  due  to a  $60.9  million  increase  in  average
outstanding balances during the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
same period in the prior year.

     Interest  paid on  deposits  increased  $339,000,  or 6.1%,  due to a $29.6
million  increase in average  outstanding  balances.  Interest on borrowed funds
increased  $362,000  due to a $23.9  million  increase  in  average  outstanding
balances.  Interest  rates increased from  5.8% to 5.9%  during the three months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year.

     Provision for Loan Losses.  During the second  quarter of 1995, the Company
provided  $100,000 for loan losses.  Management  believes  that the current loss
reserves  appear  adequate  at this time to cover  potential  losses in the loan
portfolio,  therefore,  no additional  loss  reserves  were provided  during the
second  quarter of 1996.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that  additional
reserves will not be necessary if market conditions change.

     Other Income.  Total other income increased $254,000,  or 41.9%, during the
three  months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
1995.  Loan fees and service  charges  increased  $125,000 due to recognition of
deferred  extension  fees.  Other income also increased as a result of increased
charges on deposit accounts.

     Operating Expense.  Operating expense decreased by $91,000, or 2.5%, during
the three  months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended June
30,  1995.  Compensation  and  employee  benefits  decreased  by $67,000  due to
decreased accruals for bonuses and compensation. Loss from real estate decreased
by  $77,000  due  primarily  to a  $37,000  decrease  in net real  estate  owned
operating  expense  and a $33,000  increase in net gains on sales of real estate
owned.

     Income Taxes. For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company's  effective
tax rate was  substantially  equal to the  statutory  tax rate.  For the quarter
ended  June 30,  1995,  the  Company's  effective  tax  rate  was less  than the
statutory tax rate due to the tax effects of the exercise of non-incentive stock
options by former employees and recovery of $60,000 of the  valuation  allowance
on deferred tax assets.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND JUNE 30,
1995

     General.  The  Company  recorded  net income of $2.2  million,  or $.70 per
share,  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to net income of $1.9
million, or $.61 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Net interest  income,  after provision for loan losses,  increased  $75,000
when compared to 1995. There was a $1.9 million,  or 8.9%,  increase in interest
income  which was  offset by a $1.9  million,  or 15.8%,  increase  in  interest
expense. Provision for loan losses decreased $102,000. Other income increased by
$1.1 million,  or 93.3%, and operating expenses increased by $300,000,  or 4.1%,
during the six months  ended June 30,  1996  compared  to the same period in the
prior year.

     Net Interest Income.  The Company's net interest  income,  before provision
for loan losses, decreased $27,000, or .3%, during the six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the same period of 1995.  Interest income on loans increased
by $148,000 million, or .8%, due to an increase in average outstanding  balances
of $4.2  million.  Interest  income on investment  securities  increased by $1.7
million  which  was  primarily  due  to a  $49.4  million  increase  in  average
outstanding  balances  during the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
same period in the prior year.

     Interest  paid on deposits  increased  $1.3  million,  or 12.4%,  due to an
increase in average rates paid on deposits from 4.6% to 4.8% and a $34.2 million
increase in average outstanding  balances.  Interest on borrowed funds increased
$541,000 due to a $17.4 million increase in average outstanding balances.

     Provision  for Loan  Losses.  During the first  half of 1996 and 1995,  the
Company  provided  $148,000  and  $250,000,   respectively,   for  loan  losses.
Management of the Bank believes that the current loss reserves  appear  adequate
at this time to cover potential  losses in the loan  portfolio.  There can be no
assurance,  however,  that  additional  reserves will not be necessary if market
conditions change.

     Other Income.  Total other income increased $1.1 million,  or 93.3%, during
the six months  ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1995. The Company  realized gains of $574,000 on the sale of 30-year  fixed-rate
loans amounting to $26.3 million, net. The Company also realized gains amounting
to $302,000,  an increase of $152,000 from 1995,  on the sale of mortgage  loans
originated for sale by First Citizens Mortgage Corporation ("FCMC"),  the Bank's
mortgage banking subsidiary.  FCMC experienced increased gains on sales of loans
originated  for  sale  during  the  first  quarter  of  1996  due  to  increased
originations  of such loans caused by decreased  interest  rates.  Loan fees and
service  charges  increased  $169,000  primarily due to  recognition of deferred
fees.

     Operating Expense. Operating expense increased by $300,000, or 4.1%, during
the six months  ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1995.   Compensation  and  employee  benefits   increased  by  $100,000  due  to
adjustments to various benefit plans. The Bank recorded a $133,000 adjustment to
lower of cost or market on fixed-rate  loans held for sale during the six months
ended June 30, 1996. These loans were  subsequently sold in the third quarter of
1996 at a small profit.  No such  adjustment was required  during the six months
ended June 30, 1995.  Professional services and equipment,  maintenance and data
processing expenses  also increased  during the  six months  ended June 30, 1996
compared to the same period in the prior year.

     Income  Taxes.  For the the six months ended June 30, 1996,  the  Company's
effective  tax rate was less than the  statutory  tax rate  primarily due to the
effects of exercises of  non-incentive  stock  options  granted to directors and
employees.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company's  effective tax
rate was  less than  the statutory tax rate  due to the effects  of exercises of
non-incentive stock options and recovery of $120,000 of the valuation  allowance
on deferred tax assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Under  current  regulations,  a  savings  association,  such  as the  Bank,
generally  is  required  to  maintain  liquid  assets at 5.0% or more of its net
withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. The Bank is in compliance with
this  requirement.  At June 30, 1996, the Bank had outstanding  loan commitments
totaling $24.1 million.

     SAIF-insured  institutions,  such as the Bank,  are  required  to  maintain
minimum  levels of capital.  At June 30, 1996,  the Bank continued to exceed all
currently applicable core, tangible and risk-based capital requirements.

     At June 30, 1996, the Bank had the following amounts of capital:

*    Based  upon  adjusted  total  assets  for the  core  and  tangible  capital
     requirements,   and  risk-weighted   assets  for  the  risk-based   capital
     requirement.

**   5.0% core and 10.0%  risk-based  capital  required to be  considered  "well
     capitalized"  and 4.0%  core and 8.0%  risk-based  capital  required  to be
     considered  "adequately  capitalized"  under  the  OTS  "Prompt  Corrective
     Action"  regulations.  Under current OTS capital  regulations,  the minimum
     core  capital   requirement  is  3%  and  the  minimum  risk-based  capital
     requirement is 8%.

</TABLE>

     In   August   1993,   the  OTS   issued  a  final   rule   which   adds  an
interest-rate-risk ("IRR") component to its risk-based  capital rule.  Under the
rule, savings institutions with greater than normal interest rate exposure would
be required to deduct  from  risk-based   capital  one-half  of  the  difference
between  the  institution's  actual  measured  exposure and  the normal level of
exposure.  The amount  to be deducted  would be  provided  by OTS.  The  OTS has
indefinitely delayed implementation of the final rule.  Based on  financial data
as of June 30, 1996,  management believes that compliance with the new IRR would
not have had a material  impact on  the Bank's  risk-based  capital  position at
that date.

     The United States Congress  is considering  various  legislative  proposals
regarding Federally insured banks and thrifts  which would,  among other things,
(i) abolish the OTS  and transfer its functions to other  agencies of the United
States  government, (ii) require  Federally  chartered  thrifts,  including  the
Bank, to convert  to national or  state bank charters  or state thrift charters,
(iii) require savings and loan holding companies to be regulated as bank holding
companies,  and (iv) impose a one-time  assessment in order to recapitalize  the
Savings  Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  It cannot be determined  whether,
or in what form,  any such  legislation will eventually be enacted.  Legislation
pertaining to  how qualified  savings  institutions  calculate  their  bad  debt
deduction  for federal  income tax  purposes,  if they  were  to  convert  their
charters,  was adopted  by the Congress  on August 2, 1996 and is expected to be
signed by  the President  during the  week of  August 19, 1996.  The legislation
(i)  repeals  future  bad  debt  deductions;  (ii)  exempts  pre-1988  bad  debt
deductions from recapture; and (iii) suspends post-1987 bad debt deductions from
recapture,  provided that  the savings  institution  meets  a new  home mortgage
lending test.  Once enacted,  the legislation  will exempt  from  recapture $4.0
million in  pre-1988  bad  debt deductions  taken by  the  Bank  and  will defer
recapture of an  additional  $.6 million,  subject to  compliance with  the home
mortgage  lending test.

     At  June  30,  1996,   First   Citizens   Financial   Corporation,   on  an
unconsolidated  basis,  had $1.2  million  of  cash.  First  Citizens  Financial
Corporation's   expenses   primarily  consist  of  certain   shareholder-related
activities.  First  Citizens  Financial  Corporation  believes  it can  fund its
working capital needs from its own cash account, through the next several years,
without payment of dividends from the Bank.
